They are showing this plugged into the new Thinkpad 8 an 8" Windows 8.1 tablet, My question is, will this dock POWER the computer through the USB port

Only if the Thinkpad 8 can draw power from a charging usb 3.0. I charge my IPad and Windows phone with the front USB port on this device... If the windows tablet can draw power from a ipad ac adapter, it can draw power from this device...

it does not. The computer and the docking station will each need its own power supply.

Although the description only lists the X240 as a compatible X series, if you go to the Lenovo site, http://www.lenovoquickpick.com/tur/system/thinkpad/x-series/x250#accessory/46405, and look at the accessories, it does list this one as a compatible docking station. I would just select one that has a good return policy and try it out. It is likely going to work but on the slim chance it won't then you can return it easily.

No, it does not. You have to connect one USB cable to use the dock, if you want to charge the laptop you have to connect the charger separately.

No, it does not work. I bought docks twice and returned because it did not work. Don't even waist your time, external keyboards work fine and also are much ligter to carry.

Yes it does. This is a hub that expands one 3.0 or 2.0 USB port on your lap top, PC, Tablet to 7.IItwill supply the standard voltage & amperage to the attached devices, but is not good for charging them. If you want to charge also, pick the unit with the 2 charging ports

OK, I see the confusion. I have a Lenovo W500 for which I need the Lenovo ThinkPad Advanced Mini-Dock Port Replicator (250410U). I originally ordered the Lenovo Mini Dock Plus with USB 3.0 - 90W but this did not interface to my W500 and so I had to return it. So my answer was in reference to the 250410U and unfortunately does not apply to your situation. Sorry.

You should be able to plug an external hard drive into the dock and the windows operating system will recognize it. Software is embedded in the hard drive so yes it should work, size shouldn't matter. You should also be able to connect a usb printer also as long as the tablet can find drivers.

It should come with a 170W adapter, however some sellers do not include it. Check the listing to make sure it's included as it should. Swapping your laptop adapter to the dock isn't advisable from a convenience standpoint and also not recommended depending on the wattage of your laptop adapter and how many devices or peripherals (monitors, speakers etc) will be plugged into the dock.

Since it is similar in size to a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2, it should, especially if you are using it without connecting to power or peripherals. When I connect my tablet to an external monitor, the cable goes in at the bottom where normally the frame is, so I have to turn the tablet upside down. The display re-orients itself, so the only thing that is a little odd is that the Windows button is at the top. This stand adjusts so well that you can set it to any angle, e.g. when connecting to a large monitor I set up the tablet between my keyboard and large monitor for those situations where I want to use the touch screen.

Thank you for contacting us. According to Lenovo, the page on this dock does not list this model as compatible. On a different page with all docks, it does. This dock has the round power cord tip though. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Yes, it comes with its own AC Adapter (Ac Adapter powers both the dock and computer, because you connect the dock through the OneLink slot, which is also the power adapter port in the notebook). It also comes HDMI-to-VGA monitor adapter.

Not 100% certain, but this dock is the one that I found that might work: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=460&Code;=0A33970

Yes. As Steven mentioned, the docking station has it's own power port, so you won't have to rely on the power port on the laptop.

I can't answer your question about the question about your thinkpad but would think that would be doubtful. The operating systems specified are Windows 98, 2000, Me, XP, Mac, etc. which makes me doubt its ability with Windows 8, but we needed it for an XP system. It uses 1 USB port and it appears to be both readable (our use) and writable as well. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer for more specifics.

I think the question here is whether the docking station can power on the laptop. The answer is no. The docking station is just a port extension for the laptop.

I have to setup on a docking station to my ThinkPad T430 for business. Works great.

Yes. With the different ports it works well, USB and HDMI. Charger will pug in to your USB on Computer and the quick charger works well. Buy the Bundle, a good deal and you can increase the memory. Upload Windows RT 8.1 right away. I think you will be happy. A little slow on screen touch but...! Hope this helps.
